I’m Finer Than Frog Hair Split Four Ways
This particularly wordy expression is a hilariously ironic one. Now, when you ask a Southerner how they are, they might respond with “I am well, thank you,” if life was going well for them. But if they were going through a particularly difficult period of their life, they might say that they are “finer than frog hair split four ways.” Given that frogs obviously don’t have hair, and even if they did, it would be impossible to split it four ways, a person using this expression is then certainly not feeling fine.

I’ve Got A Hankerin’
If someone says that they have “a hankerin’” for something then they mean that they badly want or need it. Hankering is an informal term for longing or desire. While you might not hear someone say that they are hankering for the person that they are in love with, you would certainly hear Southerners say that they are hankerin’ for some fried chicken or collard greens. The world is taken from Dutch, having been translated from “hunkeren”.
